Chapter 539
539 Metal detection, return to the Holy Dragon
It was easy to get things done with money, and it was the same in the world of loucheng.
With Tang Zhen’s promise, the little boy’s father immediately gathered his men. It didn’t take long before he called a group of people from the ruins of the building.
Tang Zhen showed them the metal detector and taught them how to operate it. Then, he led a group of people to the place where the meteorite had fallen.
Other than the original employment price, Tang Zhen also told the Wanderers that for every piece of void iron they found, he would give them a reward according to the size.
The Drifters ‘eyes glowed with excitement as they could not wait to start working. They were already paid twice the amount, and now, with the incentive of the reward, they could not wait to start working.
They spread out on the grassland and carried out a carpet search according to the pattern of two people in a group.
With someone scouting ahead and someone in charge of digging at the back, the search would be more efficient!
Tang Zhen, on the other hand, released his mental energy to monitor the Wanderers. He wanted to prevent anyone from treating the void iron as a valuable item and hiding it.
Void iron could avoid the detection of spiritual power. If someone hid it, they wouldn’t be able to find it unless they searched it personally!
It was also because of this reason that Tang Zhen had no choice but to be careful.
As far as the eye could see, there were Wanderers with metal detectors everywhere on the green grassland. From time to time, someone would use tools to dig up the ground.
What Tang Zhen did not expect was that ever since these Wanderers had spread out across the plains, the metal detector would emit a sound from time to time, indicating that there were metal objects hidden below.
Tang Zhen felt joy in his heart. Could it be that the density of meteorites here had far exceeded his expectations?
The Wanderers tried to dig and check, but they found many broken weapons and armors, as well as some other messy things.
Tang Zhen was slightly disappointed when he saw this. Clearly, this flat grassland had once been used by cultivators as a battlefield.
Thinking about it, no matter how many meteorites there were, it was impossible to cover the entire grassland. He was a little too impatient.
Even though Tang Zhen was disappointed, the Wanderers were excited. Even if these weapons and armors were damaged and corroded, they could still be used after being polished. They could also be sold in the market.
A few lucky guys actually found fragments of magic equipment. These were valuable things that could not be compared to those scrap metal.
When they noticed that Tang Zhen was watching from the side, the Wanderers holding the demon weapon fragment hesitated for a moment. In the end, they still handed it over to Tang Zhen. However, their faces were filled with a reluctant expression.
“Keep it for yourselves. Consider it an extra reward!”
Tang Zhen didn’t even look at the demon weapon fragments. He clearly wasn’t interested in such things.
The Wanderers were overjoyed when they heard this. They hurriedly put away the junk and continued to explore with Great Spirit.
At this moment, the Wanderers had already treated the metal detector in their hands as a divine weapon, and they wanted nothing more than to take it for themselves.
With the existence of this thing, as long as he found a battlefield and carefully explored it, he would definitely have a great harvest!
It was a pity that this thing didn’t belong to them. If they wanted to buy it, the price would definitely be frighteningly high. It would be a wild wish to own it.
As time passed, broken weapons were dug out one after another, but there was no trace of void iron.
Tang Zhen was suspicious. Could it be that the void iron that was discovered here was something that was left behind by someone?
At this moment, a Wanderer suddenly waved his hand at Tang Zhen. His face was filled with excitement.
Tang Zhen’s heart jolted when he saw this. He immediately teleported in front of the Wanderer, and his gaze fell on the Wanderer’s hand.
At this moment, the Wanderer was holding a fist-sized meteoric iron in his hand. Its surface was covered with magnificent colors, and it was the void iron that Tang Zhen had dreamed of!
Tang Zhen ignored the Wanderer who was scared silly by his teleportation. He held the void iron in his hand and sized it up a few times. Then, he casually threw a level four brain bead to the Wanderer.
The Wanderer who found the void iron smiled and bowed to express his thanks.
After witnessing Tang Zhen’s powerful strength and his forthright attitude, the Wanderers all concentrated on their search.
The earlier incident made the Wanderers realize that as long as they found a piece of void iron, just the reward given by Tang Zhen would be enough to make them wake up from their sleep with a smile.
Tang Zhen, who had already obtained a large piece of void iron, was no longer in a hurry. While he monitored the Wanderers, he would occasionally play with a few small fellows.
After a period of time, the second piece of egg-sized void iron was found. Tang Zhen was also not stingy in giving out a reward.
When night was about to fall and everyone returned home to rest, Tang Zhen had already obtained five pieces of void iron of different sizes.
After returning to their original world and resting for a night, the Wanderers arrived early the next day and continued their exploration.
By the time the exploration of this grassland ended, Tang Zhen had already obtained more than twenty pieces of void iron. This trip was definitely not in vain!
He had already done what he needed to do, and now it was time to return to Holy Dragon City.
Just as Tang Zhen was about to leave, the Wanderers came to him and asked if they could buy the metal detectors.
It was obvious that the Wanderers had mustered up a lot of courage before asking about this matter. However, even so, they were still very apprehensive when they asked. They were afraid that they would anger Tang Zhen.
“It’s not that I can’t give this thing to you, but once it’s damaged, it can only be treated as waste.”
Tang Zhen did not feel that the Wanderers were greedy. Instead, he smiled and explained.
besides, this equipment needs power. Without my help, you can’t even use it!
After the Wanderers heard Tang Zhen’s explanation, they all shook their heads in disappointment. They turned around and walked toward the ruins.
They would continue to do their old jobs, and their children and grandchildren would repeat the same work for many years.
The Wanderers didn’t have suitable seeds, and they didn’t know how to cultivate the land properly, so the yield of the land was pitifully low.
Because the cornerstone platform could be exchanged for food, the nobles in Lou Cheng were even less interested in promoting farming. As long as they had brains, they would not have to worry about starving to death!
Living in such an abnormal world, the Wanderers were destined to live a sad life since they couldn’t become residents of the city.
After Tang Zhen thought about it, he still decided to help them. It was the same as helping himself.
“Wait a minute, maybe I can find you a job!” He said.
After everyone heard this, their faces were immediately filled with excitement as they surrounded Tang Zhen.
Tang Zhen took out a thick book from the storage space and handed it to the little boy’s father.
The items in this illustration book were all restricted items when downloading the application. If they could help them find it, Tang Zhen would definitely not be stingy in terms of rewards.
you can look for the items in this book and send it to Holy Dragon City in the Wildlands. As long as you find any of the items, it will be enough for you to live without worry for the rest of your life!
After he finished speaking, Tang Zhen’s figure flashed and disappeared without a trace.
The Wanderers looked at each other and immediately flipped through the contents of the books. They then compared the books in an attempt to find something familiar.
However, the items recorded in this book were all heavenly treasures. How could ordinary people have the chance to encounter them?
The Wanderers were extremely disappointed. After sighing, they continued to explore the ruins.
Until a few years later, the boy’s father, who was in charge of keeping the book, accidentally found an item in the market that was exactly the same as the book.
After the little boy’s father bought this item, he quickly sent it to Holy Dragon City. As expected, he obtained an astonishing amount of wealth!
Inspired by this incident, the little boy’s father gathered a group of brothers and began to search for treasures all over the world according to the records in the books.
Perhaps their luck was amazing, but they actually found a few more items and exchanged them for a huge fortune in Holy Dragon City.
As time passed, these Wanderers gradually formed a secret organization, passing down their experience of treasure hunting from generation to generation, and their strength grew stronger and stronger.
The book that Tang Zhen had given them back then had also been treated as the sacred object of this organization. Only the leader was allowed to read it!
